The day after Nyepi, Bali's day of silence, young unmarried men and women of Banjar Kaja in Sesetan, south Denpasar, form two groups on the street and are pushed toward each other. Pairs are lifted together to embrace and often kiss while elders throw buckets of water over them to pull them apart. The village says the ritual dates to the 1700s and holds it every year as a rite of togetherness.
